Girish wins Telegraph Chess!

The 20th edition of The Telegraph Schools' Chess
Championship was held at Gorky Sadan, Kolkata
between 2nd and 8th September 2008. Karnataka's
Girish Koushik won the event with a round to spare.
He made 9 Points out of 10 rounds.

Following him closely was Sayantan Das. The local
lad who is a student of Alekhine Chess Academy also
has a bright future. The event which is known as the
Talent Spotting Event of the country has even featured
bright foreign stars such as Rustam Kasimdzhanov and
Antoaneta Stefanova who went on to become World Champions.

Let us hope that young Girish can follow in their
footsteps ...
